Looks like Minkins' most productive season was in 2022 under Satterfield https://www.espn.com/college-footbal...8/josh-minkins

Portal and NIL facts:
1. 1000 players (D1) entered the portal this year.
2. More than half will not get picked up by new schools.
3. Only 30% of those that transfer via portal will see more playing time at their new school.
4. Very few make the BIG $$ in the NIL. Dontey Corleone, one of UC's best players, is going to get about $180K to play another year. His hope is that his NFL stock will rise if he waits a year.
5. Most NIL deals are $1-10K. Most players don't get anything.
Yes, the portal and NIL are really messing up college football, but many players are finding that going into the portal will do nothing more than put an end to their college football career.

Maybe after a few cycles of the portal and the vast majority of players not landing elsewhere, the activity will subside. Only players who have an opportunity to play at another school - stuck behind a better/older player at the current school - will enter the portal to gain playing time and garner the attention they seek. Otherwise, why give up a scholarship on the off chance that you might end up in a better situation? I would want to know my chances prior to entering the portal, but I am also in my 50s and have a very different outlook on such matters.

Remember UC's kicker from two years ago?.... a guy who transferred here from Delaware (Cole???). Anyway, he left UC via the portal after one year. He kicked every FG and EP while here, but went to NC. He was pretty good. He played in two games at NC, and now his career is over. Stupid move.

He only played in 2 games because he got hurt. He was the starter those first 2 games. He got a degree from UNC and is now headed to Cal Berkeley for a grad year, where he is getting a second grad degree. Stupid post.

This is the current roster on GoBearcats. It's not up to date but if you look at it, about a 3rd of these guys are gone thourgh the portal or graduated. Coe is not an anomaly.

Chris, first all you seem to have combined Cole Smith with Ryan Coe into some sort of FrankenKicker here. (Can I trademark that?) Coe was the kicker in 2022 and transferred out with the coaching change. To my knowledge he was not a grad student and last year at UNC he was in his 4th year and got hurt. So in theory he's got a grad transfer and a Covid year left? I wouldn't put the transfer on Coe. The vast majority of players from the Fickell era are gone at this point. There are some notable exceptions like Corleone, Prater and even Landon Fickell of all people, who are local guys that went to HS in the city.

Come on Bearcat 1518.... you missed my point. Some guys transfer expecting great things, and it doesn't happen. UC brought in a great WR from Washington State. He fizzled. Glad the PK is getting a 6th year, and doing so well. I saw no stories that the PK was hurt before I made that post. Evidently Coe did return from his injury, and lost his starting position to another PK.
